i recently broke up with him and i kind of miss him because in retrospect, our relationship may have actually been healthy. sure, we didn’t have the same interests and such, and he wanted me to pay attention to his but rarely did to mine,

This is the part you should focus on because a good partner will still engage with your interests out of love and respect for them.

but what if he was actually a really good boyfriend?

It seems like you wanted them to be a good partner more than they actually were. You deserve someone who treats you as well as you treat them.

You are still young. You have time and sadly time is the only cure for heartbreak.

It's not so strange to have doubts. We all say things when we're mad, but if you crave a bit 'more' interaction per day and feel neglected if you don't, there's bound to be someone that's more on your wavelength.

On another note, time helps a lot. I don't know how long ago this was, but give your sadness some time and it will soften. Good luck and stay in there.

as someone who loves video games, i'm not addicted. i don't play every day either. i mainly like my fiancee's interests but there's some stuff i may not like and i still engage if she wants me to.

even when i play games, i still make time for my fiancee and she makes time for me. you can let someone know about your interests and invite them, but don't force them like he did if they say no.

he sounded a bit unhealthy for you anyway, you'll find someone tho.

It sounds more like you miss having a person than you miss having that person. There are others out there who are better suited for you.

I hope you’re doing okay. It sounds like he didn’t have your best interests in mind and that he seemed to change his mind a lot, like one minute he would say he loved you and the next, he never cared. I’m glad you don’t have to deal with his toxicity anymore. Don’t feel bad about breaking up, it’s always hard when you just have broken up but it sounds like it was for the best 🫂
